Stay protected from the potential snow expected in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve under the shelter of the Fremont Street Experience and its cavalcade of tribute bands. TributePalooza rolls out starting at 5:30 p.m. and keeps on rocking until 3:30 a.m. to welcome in 2015.

Fan Halen (Van Halen), Queen Nation (Queen), Led Zepagain (Led Zeppelin), Rio (Duran Duran), Generation Idol (Billy Idol), No Duh (No Doubt), Red Not Chili Peppers (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Doobies Inc. (The Doobie Brothers), Jumping Jack Flash (Rolling Stones), Aeromyth (Aerosmith), Crimes of Passion (Pat Benatar), Don’t Look Back (Boston) and Bonfire (AC/DC) are all expected to roll in the new year.
